The Pleasure Garden drops first lineup

The first of the 40 acts for The Pleasure Garden festival’s Welcome To Wonderland edition have been unveiled.

Now in its third year, it is held on Saturday, December 8 at Catani Gardens, in bayside St Kilda in Melbourne.

Playing over the Conservatory, Aurora, Bass Station and House Party stages are Northeast Party House, Sampa The Great, Katchafire, Mad Professor, Nora En Pure, Spoonbill, Stickybuds, Deekline, Haiku Hands, Eva Lazarus, JFB, The Senegambian Jazz Band and Jamie Stevens.

The event will include roving performers, art installations, artisan market stalls, as well as "fine food and decadent cocktails in a palm-fringed party paradise.”

The Pleasure Garden brands itself as a family event, with music consumers under the age of eight able to register for free, and with discounted ticket options for kids and teens here.
